1. What is Vitaminum E Medana and what is it used for

The active substance of the medicine - vitamin E is a factor necessary for the proper functioning of the body, which protects against the harmful effects of excessive amounts of compounds with strong oxidizing properties and prevents hemolysis of red blood cells. Protection against damage by free radicals appears to be important in the development and functioning of the nervous and muscular systems. Vitamin E may also act as a cofactor in certain enzymatic systems (a necessary component in certain metabolic processes).
Indications for use
Treatment of vitamin E deficiency caused by prolonged improper nutrition and metabolic disorders. Supportively in atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, and its secondary prevention, as well as in all diseases whose etiology is associated with oxidative stress.

2. Important information before using Vitaminum E Medana

  • if the patient is allergic to vitamin E or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6),
  • if there is a deficiency of vitamin K (possibility of bleeding).

Warnings and precautions

Before starting to use Vitaminum E Medana, the patient should discuss it with their doctor or pharmacist.
Particular caution should be exercised when using Vitaminum E Medanain people who are also taking:

  • oral anticoagulant drugs (e.g., dicumarol, warfarin),

Vitaminum E Medana and other medicines

The patient should inform their doctor or pharmacist about all medicines they are currently taking or have recently taken, as well as any medicines they plan to take.
Vitamin E may act antagonistically to vitamin K, especially in people taking oral anticoagulant drugs or estrogens (e.g., oral contraceptives).
Taking other agents with antioxidant effects (vitamin C, selenium, ubiquinone, sulfur-containing amino acids) may alleviate some symptoms of vitamin E deficiency.
Concomitant use of iron compounds weakens the effect of vitamin E, so a few hours' interval should be maintained between taking these medicines.
Vitamin E increases the absorption, utilization, and storage of vitamin A.
Cholestyramine and colestipol (cholesterol-lowering drugs) reduce the absorption of vitamin E from the gastrointestinal tract.
